Children's Safety Programme

Our Children's Safety Programme is a Ministry of Justice approved programme for children aged 3 - 18 years who have witnessed or experienced family violence.  Over a period of 10 weeks the outcomes for each tamariki centre around their unique world. These include:

​

• Developing a safety plan for your child, with your child and / or their siblings and whānau

• Identifying and creating their community of 'safe people'

• Educating your child on what abuse and violence is

• Helping your child identify and manage their feelings and worries

• Teaching your child about anger - what it is and how best to express it

• Growing confidence to give your child a voice

• Understanding your child's hopes and dreams around living and staying in a safe home.

Following programme completion, individual review and family/whānau meetings are optional along with an opportunity to review changes in family structures and behaviour.
